Well.the crosstrek is offered
Well. The Subaru Crosstrek is offered with a manual and it doesn't seem to stand in the way of a Crosstrek getting the top safety pick. They could do the same with the Forrester. There are still people out there that prefer the manual. Subaru don't make that mistake, I know its only a small percentage of manuals getting bought, but still. Also, Honda is capable of offering their safety systems with a manual trans, why not Subaru.
